A fan presale will begin tomorrow (Jan. 7) with a general public onsale happening Friday (Jan. 9). Ticket information is available at Gordon&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/mike-gordon.com\/tour\/\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a> and complete tour dates are below.<\/p>\n<p>Fans can expect a mix of different things at the upcoming gigs. During a New Orleans performance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.setlist.fm\/setlist\/mike-gordon\/2025\/joy-theater-new-orleans-la-735bcaed.html\" target=\"_blank\">last May<\/a>, he debuted a new band featuring John Kimock, Robert Walter, Xavier Lynn, and Bob Wagner. They moved through a set list that featured material from his solo albums, 2023&#8217;s <em>Flying Games<\/em> and 2014&#8217;s <em>Overstep<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Some well-chosen covers were also wrapped in, including songs by <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/little-feat\/\">Little Feat<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/jj-cale\/\">J.J. Cale<\/a> and a debut of <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/bob-dylan\/\">Bob Dylan&#8217;s<\/a> &#8220;I Don&#8217;t Believe You (She Acts Like We&#8217;ve Never Met),&#8221; in addition to a couple of Phish tracks. The players will form the core lineup for the March shows, with keyboardist Eli Winderman also joining for some of the dates mid-tour.<\/p>\n<h3>Why His Phish Shows are a &#8216;Different Vibe&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>During a 2019 interview with the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theaquarian.com\/2019\/03\/06\/mike-gordon-of-phish-expect-the-unexpected\/\" target=\"_blank\">Aquarian<\/a><\/em>, the bassist detailed what it is that separates his solo work from what fans experience when he&#8217;s playing with Phish.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it\u2019s more the quantity, than anything,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Knowing that I can write a lot of songs&#8230;and have a chance to dabble in a lot of material and also a lot of ideas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In terms of ideas, a few years ago it was about trying out a lot of new technology onstage\u2014from lighting, to instruments, to stuff under the hood in terms of the live mix,&#8221; he detailed. &#8220;I guess that\u2019s what it is. With Phish, they\u2019ve always been encouraging and welcoming of my songs and my ideas. But because there\u2019s already such creativity there, and it\u2019s such a well-greased machine, I don\u2019t have to bring as much to it. It\u2019s a different vibe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Will Phish Play Concerts in 2026?<\/h3>\n<p>You know the answer to that question. They <a href=\"https:\/\/diffuser.fm\/phish-new-years-madison-square-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\">recently played a stellar run of dates<\/a> leading up to New Year&#8217;s Eve, something which has become a tradition for the band. The shows, as always, were full of surprises, including an unexpected cover of <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/prince\/\">Prince&#8217;s<\/a> &#8220;Cream&#8221; during their New Year&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p>In late January, they&#8217;ll return to Cancun for their ninth annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phishrivieramaya.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Riviera Maya<\/em><\/a> fan getaway, with four shows set to kick off on Jan. 28. On the heels of that fun in the sun, they&#8217;ll be back in Las Vegas for a return engagement at the Sphere. All nine of their dates at the revolutionary venue quickly sold out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/phish-initial-2026-tour-dates\/\">Phish Announces Initial 2026 Dates<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Mike Gordon, 2026 Solo Tour Dates<\/h3>\n<p>Mar. 13 &#8211;\u00a0Woodstock, NY @ Bearsville Theater<br \/>Mar. 14 &#8211; Asbury Park, NJ @ The Stone Pony<br \/>Mar. 15 &#8211; Philadelphia, PA @ Union Transfer<br \/>Mar. 17 &#8211; Asheville, NC @ The Orange Peel<br \/>Mar. 19 &#8211; Charlotte, NC @ Neighborhood Theatre<br \/>Mar. 20 &#8211; Nashville, TN @ Brooklyn Bowl<br \/>Mar. 21 &#8211; Atlanta, GA @ Variety Playhouse<br \/>Mar. 22 &#8211; Charleston, SC @ Charleston Music Hall<br \/>Mar. 24 &#8211; Washington, D.C. @ Lincoln Theatre<br \/>Mar. 26 &#8211; Brooklyn, NY @ Brooklyn Bowl<br \/>Mar. 27 &#8211; Boston, MA @ Paradise<br \/>Mar. 28 &#8211; Portland, ME @ State Theatre<br \/>Mar. 29 &#8211; Burlington, VT @ Higher Ground<\/p>\n<div class=\"photogallery-wrapper blog-photogallery \">\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">2026&#8217;s Biggest Rock Tours<\/h2>\n<div class=\"photogallery-description\">\n<p>Rock reunions are creating some of the biggest headlines for 2026 \u2013 but there are lots of other huge shows on the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/author\/nickderiso\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nick DeRiso<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/rest\/carbon\/api\/scripts.js?mver=161&#038;gver=9&#038;bid=295&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fbtloader.com%2Ftag%3Fo%3D5642230212591616%26upapi%3Dtrue&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.p-n.io%2Fpushly-sdk.min.js%3Fdomain_key%3DmxuuNIMSzp6MHphJEoAGlLFQ3qmwQguzkGZl&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Ftownsquare.media%2Fpublic%2Fresources%2Fjs%2Fpubcid.min.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.twitter.com%2Fwidgets.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fapis.google.com%2Fjs%2Fplatform.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.facebook.net%2Fen_US%2Fsdk.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.pinterest.com%2Fjs%2Fpinit.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer data-osano=\"ESSENTIAL\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/mike-gordon-phish-2026-tour-dates\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phish bassist Mike Gordon announced plans for a rare solo tour that will find him playing 13 dates throughout the month of March.
